Beyond sick. So far beyond.
The Trump-Vance admin just deported two families, including three US citizen kids ages 2, 4, and 7.

Both families were detained and then blocked from communicating with attorneys or family members.

One of the moms is pregnant. One of the citizen kids has cancer. Both deported without medical help.
